∙ 12y agoThe atria and the ventricles need to work together, and the valves make sure that everything runs smoothly. Blood first enters the atria. Then it moves through the first valve into the ventricles. The ventricles squeeze (contract) and pump blood out to the body and the lungs. As the ventricles contract, the atria fill up with blood agaion, like the baack of the toilet filling up water. The valves between the atria and the left ventricles stop the blood from flowing backwards. Sorry so lengthy
